00:00They will leave space behind.

00:02Well, don't want to leave yourself vulnerable at the back,

00:04as the cafe anthem sounds.

00:06The match referee and the two teams make their way out of the tunnel

00:09and onto this absolutely immaculate pitch.

00:12With Kings Kangua who will play probably just behind him

00:15as the creative outlet for this Zambian side.

00:17Sunday Ole's quick take on the Zambian formation today.

00:20While El-Kabi will be the target man in the front position.

00:23But Brahim Diaz, he's been creator-in-chief

00:25and perhaps goal-scorer-in-chief Sunday.

00:27Morocco urged by a nation.

00:29Zambia organised alert and determined to spoil the party.

00:32We are underway.

00:33Zambia in the orange and black against Morocco

00:36in not their traditional red but rather white.

00:38Winning immediately.

00:39Brahim Diaz charging forward.

00:40Lovely ball out wide.

00:41Chance for the earliest goal ever at an Afghan

00:43and not going to happen here and now.

00:45But my word, it works well at times

00:50until you find yourself unwittingly creating the overlap.

00:53Again, a double-edged sword.

00:55Exactly, you got it all.

00:58All over the top.

01:00Recovery from Aman Senja.

01:03Oh, on the back foot, Brahim Diaz into the 18-yard area.

01:06El-Kabi holds it up.

01:07Support play running from deep.

01:09El-Ainoui now wide.

01:11Ez-Azuli breaks into the area.

01:13Great opportunity to shot.

01:14Fires!

01:15It was powerful but it was parried by Mwanza.

01:18Successful.

01:20Well, what I'm finding quite interesting here

01:25is the fact that the Moroccan...

01:28Oh, great strike here.

01:29This was a great strike.

01:30But it should have been...

01:31The reference have been great in this tournament, huh?

01:35Certainly have.

01:36Ez-Azuli stands over this one.

01:37Looks to deliver.

01:38The tall men are in for Morocco.

01:39Unai just a little off for a second-chance ball.

01:44There is the chance for Unai.

01:46He strikes it but it's deflected away courtesy of Aman Senja.

01:52That could be a solution.

01:54We'll head out towards the corner flag.

01:56Takes it a little short to the edge of the area.

01:59Back post, header and goal!

02:01Ayub El-Kabi strikes a 31st international goal

02:05and is second at this tournament.

02:07He scored a wonder goal against Comoros.

02:09He's lit up the stadium here in Rabat

02:12with an early goal against Zambia.

02:17That's what they needed at all costs.

02:20An early goal.

02:21Oh, a slight smile from Fusi Lecter.

02:24The man in charge of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation.

02:28He can afford a smile as Morocco have utterly enlivened

02:32this crowd and the stadium.

02:34Ayub El-Kabi strikes again

02:36and it's a training ground move.

02:38Worked to perfection.

02:39Exactly.

02:40Look at the change of pace, the direction.

02:44Everybody was expecting him to play direct corner kick

02:47and the fact that they changed the build-up and the way...

02:51Lofted ball over the top by Massina.

02:53Chongo.

02:55Chaiwa will recover this.

02:57Under pressure from Ezra Zouli though.

02:59He's overwhelmed by Nambes El-Kabi.

03:01He has a chance.

03:02Looks to square it.

03:03Brahim Diaz now.

03:04Takes it wide.

03:05Shoots just beyond the goalkeeper,

03:07but just beyond his back post as well.

03:09It's what we said prior to the game that the Moroccans needed to do.

03:12That was to always...

03:14When...

03:15To put pressure on the opposition the minute...

03:17The moment they lose the ball in the final third of your position.

03:20And that's what they just did there.

03:22Doubled up.

03:23A strike that could have gone in.

03:25Was not wide out.

03:27This is...

03:29Liteta.

03:31Closed down by a retreating.

03:34Saibadi.

03:35She be there as well.

03:37Into midfield.

03:39That'll be free kick Morocco.

03:41Liteta says, I came away with possession.

03:44Well, I think he took the man first.

03:46El-Enoe.

03:47Yeah, I think he took plenty of El-Enoe.

03:49Oh, that's a clear foul.

03:50He took the man first before the ball.

04:04There's Oudai.

04:06Oh, that's a delightful ball.

04:07Perfectly weighted.

04:08Ezra Zouli on the end of it.

04:09Cut back space.

04:10Chance there.

04:11And he's done it.

04:12Brahim Diaz becomes only the second Moroccan to score in all three group stage matches for Morocco.

04:19Not since 1976 when Ahmed Faraz, who lifted the trophy that year with Morocco, did it.

04:25Has any Moroccan done it?

04:27Now the Atlas Lion himself, Brahim Diaz, can celebrate a second Morocco goal in this game.

04:33A third of the tournament.

04:37And not just a box ticked, but a record equaled.

04:41This is a typical example of what we say, the quality of the pass is helped a lot by the quality of the run that was given.

04:52If we look at the run that was made on the left side of the attack for the Moroccans.

04:58But talking about the Comoros, don't write off Comoros.

05:04I think they're a very solid side.

05:06They play with a lot of structure in this Comoros side.

05:10Certainly not out of it.

05:12Morocco can't keep this ball in play.

05:15How wide Shibi it was.

05:20Mohamed Shibi.

05:24This game is not over.

05:27It's not. Far from it.

05:29Now Unai with a lovely interception, flying forward of several Moroccan players.

05:36Zezalzouli, square ball, in behind everybody.

05:39It's meant late, but disappointingly for Diaz.

05:42He can't find the net a second time in the game.

05:44Azraoui, forward to Saibaru, who has drifted central.

05:48Now Alainoui, a little space.

05:50Oh, beautiful, beautiful.

05:51Lovely flick.

05:52Shibi back inside towards Brahim Diaz after Unai drifted out wide.

05:57Brahim Diaz, powerful at parried.

06:00Mwanza with a save to deny Brahim Diaz a second in this game.

06:04Sign of a great player is when they play, it makes it look easy.

06:12They make it look easy.

06:13And then you think, okay.

06:14And I think Diaz also, these two players are way ahead the rest of the pack.

06:20And Osemen is nothing bad.

06:22Well, he's got his goal now.

06:24Half-time here, Zambia 0, Morocco 2.

06:27A quick thought on the 45-minute Sunday.

06:29The opening half off.

06:31And he is replaced by the very young attacker from Zanako,

06:35the 18-year-old Elia Mandangi.

06:37Second half is underway.

06:39Morocco in white lead by two.

06:41Zambia in their traditional orange and black with much to do.

06:46And Abdus Samad Izzelzouli stand over it.

06:50Both Spain-based.

06:52Izzelzouli with Real Batiste.

06:54Lovely ball over the top and it's there again!

06:57Absolutely glorious!

06:59What a goal.

07:00Unfortunately, it's an offside.

07:02Oh, my word.

07:04The flag raised.

07:05What a goal.

07:06This will have been perfect for...

07:10Ayubelkabi, it will be checked.

07:14Oh, and he might be onside here.

07:16This might count.

07:18He might be.

07:19The flag has gone up, but we will go upstairs to check this.

07:22It might be onside, huh?

07:24Well...

07:25Do we give an offensive advantage?

07:28There's none.

07:29They draw lines and that's it.

07:32Red and green lines.

07:33Of course, that's what the rule says.

07:35Elkabi wants to soak it all in.

07:40I can bet you he's praying now.

07:42Please.

07:43God, let it be onside.

07:48The crowd are awaiting the verdict.

07:51Ayubelkabi is awaiting the verdict.

07:54If it's a goal, goal of the tournament so far?

07:57Oh, no.

07:58Is it better than his first against Comoros?

08:00That's the other question.

08:01Yeah, because he's like trying to outdo himself.

08:05Goal!

08:07Ayubelkabi can celebrate a second in the game,

08:11a third in the tournament,

08:12joins Brahim Diaz and Riyan Mahrez on three goals in the tournament.

08:17And it is special.

08:19It is significant.

08:20And it is stunning.

08:22Scoring the goal will be nice.

08:25Oh, turnover.

08:26A four-on-three situation building up.

08:28Unai needing to release.

08:29Perfectly passed again.

08:31A loose ball.

08:32Saibadi couldn't pick up on it.

08:34Chaiwa will come away with it.

08:39Relentless now.

08:40Isazuli with an opportunity.

08:42Parried to safety and swept away.

08:44It will be a corner to Morocco.

08:46Zambia looking for some consolation.

08:49Morocco seeking the victory that will secure them top spot.

08:53And a place in the knockout stages as the winners of Group A.

08:57Where they'll face the third place finisher in either Group C, Group D or Group E.

09:05Here on the 4th of January.

09:07Hakimi.

09:08Oh!

09:09Agonizingly close.

09:10Kept alive though.

09:11To pluck the bouncing ball.

09:12But this was Ineseri at his best.

09:14But what a chance.

09:15And what a save as you say.

09:17What a save.

09:18This is, look at the extension.

09:19Total extension reflex.

09:21And there was also a deviation which made it more difficult for him.

09:22Oh!

09:23Oh!

09:24Great goalkeeper.

09:25Frame that shot.

09:26When you get it at home.

09:27Will it winds up.

09:28I'll keep you.

09:29Shibi.

09:30Oh!

09:31Oh!

09:32Oh!

09:33Oh!

09:34Oh!

09:35Oh!

09:36Oh!

09:37Oh!

09:38Oh!

09:39Oh!

09:40Oh!

09:41Oh!

09:42Oh!

09:43Oh!

09:44Oh!

09:45Oh!

09:46Oh!

09:47Oh!

09:48Oh!

09:49Oh!

09:50Oh!

09:51Shibi.

09:52Talbi.

09:53Great goalkeeper.

09:54Great goalkeeper.

09:55Oh!

09:56Oh!

09:57Oh!

09:58That was in for all money.

09:59Here's a chance.

10:00And Hakimi again with the opportunity.

10:01And Wanzer closes down.

10:03Zambia, look for the throw.

10:05Take it quickly now.

10:06Joseph Sabobobanda, whipped in.

10:09Too heavy.

10:10Hakimi underneath it.

10:13Doesn't clear convincingly and it allows Zambia possession.

10:17Chaiwa. Hamansenya. Oh, Zambia enjoying probably some of the best moments of the game. Lamekbanda,

10:23Lamekbanda. There are outlets, there are passing lanes, there's a little space here.

10:29Lovely effort at the near post but left by Bonu who knew exactly where his upright was.

10:34The successes the Moroccans have had, you know, it's not been easy. That is the end of this tie

10:41after the goalless draw between Koboros and Mali. I can confirm that Zambia are out and that Morocco top Group A.
